A Tall Native for Pollinators and Shade

 

Bring height and ecological impact to your landscape with Asclepias exaltata, commonly known as Poke Milkweed. This elegant native perennial is a favorite among pollinators and thrives in shady to partially sunny areas.

 

  • Graceful Blooms: Drooping clusters of white to pale lavender flowers appear in early to mid-summer, providing nectar for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
  • Distinctive Form: Upright stems reach widths of 1–2 feet, with tall, slender growth that can reach up to 5 feet, adding vertical interest.
  • Shade-Tolerant: Prefers partial shade but adapts to full sun with sufficient moisture, making it ideal for woodland edges or naturalized plantings.
  • Wildlife-Friendly: An important host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars and a nectar source for various pollinators.
  • Hardy & Low-Maintenance: Thrives in moist, well-drained soils. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–7.

 

Perfect for creating a pollinator haven in shady spaces, Asclepias exaltata adds ecological value and subtle beauty to any garden.
